Toyah: In The Court of the Crimson Queen (RSD 2019) Review
Toyah Wilcox, the 80s punk princess turned Renaissance woman, has always been known for her eclectic musical taste and fearless experimentation. So it comes as no surprise that her latest offering, "In The Court of the Crimson Queen" released for Record Store Day 2019, is a wild and wonderful ride through a psychedelic wonderland.
From the moment the needle drops on the title track, you are transported to a world where rules don't apply, and anything is possible. Toyah's ethereal vocals soar over a lush bed of swirling synths and pulsating beats, creating a sonic tapestry that is both mesmerizing and intoxicating.
Tracks like "Sensational" and "Telepathic Lover" showcase Toyah's signature blend of pop sensibility and avant-garde experimentation, while "Heathens" and "Mystic Shaman" delve into darker, more introspective territory, drawing the listener into a hypnotic trance.
But it's on tracks like "Our Hearts Still Beat" and "Legacy" where Toyah truly shines, her powerful vocals cutting through the sonic landscape like a knife through butter, leaving you breathless and yearning for more.
Overall, "In The Court of the Crimson Queen" is a triumph of creativity and individuality, a bold statement from a true musical maverick. For those willing to take the journey, the rewards are endless. Toyah may have been a punk princess in the past, but with this album, she proves that she is truly a queen of the music world. Long live the Crimson Queen!
